Was that in capital bold letters on the product package ?

In the EU, EULAS that are either too long or too hard for normal people to read are not enforceable.

Also if you bought it, its yours and you can do whatever you want with it, like resell it (and Apple is being sued for not allowing users to resell AppStore apps..).

Also, the EU is going to ship a right to repair law that will force companies to make sure their products can be repaired after support ends. And that includes software. So any mac that apple sells will need to be fully usable / repairable / etc. just for the case that apple goes out of business.

>force companies to make sure their products can be repaired after support ends. And that includes software

How is this possible? They force them to provide source and build info? Any software is "repairable" with enough effort, just ask the NSA.

They don't need to provide software.

Enough effort here means users should be able to bring their own software on the device.

EULAs are not legally binding in many jurisdictions.

That's what the court decides - so they sue to get the court to give an opinion.

Typically reverse engineering requires intent to reproduce a tech, not just learn a tech.

“ the reproduction of another manufacturer's product following detailed examination of its construction or composition.”

Are you quoting from a precedent there?

RE for interoperability is protected, that suit is dead in the water.

That never went to court.
